What does this mean? I am afraid you aren't gonna like this. AFAIK watchdog is some kind of a heartbeat monitoring done at the hardware level just to make sure that ur hardware is fine. So the watchdog has a timer that will expire in case the hardware does not send this heartbeat every few seconds or so. So it is not good news if your ethernet cards report that since it normally means the hardware is defective; however since everything else works for you it may be time to change your card yet. I hope I am wrong. Can someone correct me? Best, Girish > > Thanks... > > Efren Bravo. > ----- > Fight back spam!
